[Updated] GitHub Goes Tits Up, Again!!!

GitHub started experiencing downtime at about 7:05 AM PST and during that time database server seemed to be the primary reason for the downtime. The team over at GitHub did try to fail over to the secondary server but, it seems that the site is still facing issues.

In about six minutes time, the site went down again at 7:19 AM PST. The site landing page shows an error with 500 status code at the moment.

[Update@7:35 AM PST September 10]: The GibHub Status page is still showing up partial service outage

[Update@7:40 AM PST September 10]: The GitHub status page itself is not accessible at times. Probably the main Database server is still recovering.

[Update@7:55 AM PST September 10]: According to the status page, GitHub is recovering at the moment but access is still slow.
